Support custom mime types
-------------------------
Key: TIKA-746
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-746
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: mime
Affects Versions: 0.10
Reporter: Nick Burch
Assignee: Nick Burch
Fix For: 1.0
As discussed over the summer
<http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Appending-Mime-Types-td3266434.html> there
are legitimate cases for wanting to load in extra, custom mimetypes (and their
matching rules) to Tika
Discussions seem to conclude that the built in tika-mimetypes file should be
used for common and public mimetypes, and people wanting to support additional
public formats should open an issue to have them in the main file. People who
want only a very restricted set of mimetypes can use a custom tika config with
a limited, smaller mimetypes file
For people who want to load one or two extra, likely custom mimetypes, we
should provide a service loading system to pull in the extra mimetypes. This
allows for the regular mimetypes file to be used for most files, and the extra
custom ones merged in as needed. It also allows for a custom parser to provide
the mimetype detection for the specific custom formats it handles
